Get Ready for Different Road Types

Mastering a variety of road types will give you the edge on test day. In Shelbyville, the driving test may take you through several different road conditions, including:

• Residential Streets: Navigating neighborhood roads such as East North 4th Street tests your ability to maintain lower speeds, handle frequent stop signs, and be vigilant for children playing and vehicles parked along the curb.
• Heavily Used City Roads: Streets like North Cedar Street present urban driving scenarios where you will contend with moderate traffic, a series of intersections, and frequent lane changes, testing your adaptability in real-world conditions.
• Major Arterial Roads: Although expressways may not be part of every driving test, roads such as IL-128 mimic highway conditions, requiring you to handle higher speeds and practice safe merging techniques.
• Intersections Requiring Stopping and Yielding: Places like N Cedar St & North Broadway St will test your ability to come to full stops, yield appropriately, and proceed through intersections controlled by various traffic signals and signs, ensuring safety and compliance.
• Multiple-Lanes: Near the Shelbyville SOS, the IL-16 multi-lane setup will assess your ability to handle several lanes, including proper lane changes, consistent use of signals, and maintaining the correct speed to ensure safety and compliance with traffic laws.

Behind-the-Wheel Road Test Guide

Your driving test will require proficiency in a range of tasks, many of which you can practice in advance, including:

1. Handling Start and Stop Movements: The test will assess your ability to start the vehicle smoothly, join traffic without causing disruption, and make controlled stops at necessary points like stop signs and intersections.
2. Following Speed Limits: During the test, you must consistently drive at the appropriate speed, adjusting to different road types and conditions while adhering to posted speed restrictions.
3. Mirror Use and Shoulder Checks: You’re expected to use your mirrors throughout the test and perform shoulder checks when merging or switching lanes to ensure safety.
4. Executing a Three-Point Turn: You will be required to demonstrate how to turn the car around in a limited space by performing a three-point or K-turn.
5. Safe Roadside Maneuver: During your test, you could be asked to pull over as if handling a breakdown and then demonstrate how to safely merge back into traffic.
